Rasashram Chhachh Masala | Buttermilk Masala | Chaas Masala

Rasashram Chhachh Masala — also known as Chhash Masala, Chaas Masala, or Buttermilk Masala — is a label-verified proprietary food formulation by Rasashram Pharma Laboratories, Gondal, Gujarat. Each 10g serving contains four ingredients in precise, pharmaceutical-quality ratios: Jeerak (Cuminum cyminum) 30%, Panchlavan 55%, Dhanyak (Coriandrum sativum) 10%, and Krishna Jeerak (Carum bulbocastanum) 5%. Sprinkle on buttermilk, fruits, salad, raita, or cooked pulses for authentic taste and digestive comfort — as traditionally described in classical Ayurvedic dietary science.

A Legacy of 125 Years — Born in the Royal Dispensary of Gondal

In 1901, Rajvaidya Shri Jivram Kalidas Shastri and his wife Rasavaidya Prankunvardevi Shastri founded the Rasashala Ausadhashram in Gondal on 50,000 sq. ft of land allocated by the progressive Gondal state of Saurashtra. Their mission: to serve the people through authentic, honest Ayurvedic formulations. In 1961, Bhishagratna Rajvaidya Maheshwar J.K. Shastri re-established Rasashram Pharma Laboratories in the same historic premises, carrying that mission forward with pharmaceutical rigour. A modern 2,00,000 sq. ft plant — complete with a Gaushala and Botanical Garden — was commissioned near Gondal in 2002.

When you buy Rasashram Chhachh Masala, you are buying from a manufacturer that has been producing classical Ayurvedic medicines — including Siddha Bhasma, Pishti Kalp, Koopipakva Rasayana, and Rasa Rasayana — for over six decades. That culture of pharmaceutical precision extends to every product bearing the Rasashram name, including this masala. Riddhish Herbals has proudly stocked Rasashram since 2015 and continues to do so because we trust their manufacturing standards completely.

Label-Verified Composition

This is a proprietary food product. Every batch contains the same four ingredients in the same ratios — verified from the physical product label:

• Jeerak — Cuminum cyminum (Cumin) — 30%: The single largest active ingredient. Classified in Charaka Samhita as Shreshtha Pachana — the finest digestive herb in classical Ayurveda. Roasted Jeerak gives chhachh its signature earthy warmth and supports comfortable digestion after meals.
• Panchlavan — Five Classical Salts — 55%: The dominant ingredient at over half the formulation. Panchlavan is the classical Ayurvedic five-salt blend described in Dravyaguna texts as Deepaniya (stimulating digestive fire), Pachana (digestive), and Ruchikara (taste-enhancing). The five salts in this blend provide mineral balance and palatability that single-salt products cannot replicate. No competitor mentions Panchlavan with verified percentages.
• Dhanyak — Coriandrum sativum (Coriander) — 10%: Classified in classical texts as Tridoshahara — balancing to all three doshas. Dhanyak contributes a cooling, slightly citrus note that rounds out the heat of Jeerak and adds the familiar chhachh aroma that customers immediately recognise.
• Krishna Jeerak — Carum bulbocastanum (Black Cumin / Wild Carrot Seed) — 5%: The distinctive spice note in this formula. Krishna Jeerak is valued in classical Ayurvedic pharmacology for its Deepana (digestive stimulant) and Pachana properties, and adds a slightly bitter, complex depth of flavour that distinguishes Rasashram Chhachh Masala from simpler blends on the market.

Traditional Ayurvedic Importance

The Charaka Samhita describes Takra (spiced buttermilk) as one of the most beneficial daily dietary preparations — Laghu (light to digest), Deepaniya (stimulating to digestive fire), and useful in pacifying both Kapha and Vata dosha. Classical texts specifically recommend adding digestive spices to chaas after meals to support the body's natural digestive process. Jeerak — the dominant ingredient in this formulation at 30% — is described in Charaka Samhita as Shreshtha Pachana: outstanding among all digestive herbs.

Panchlavan, occupying 55% of this formula, is not merely a seasoning. Classical Ayurvedic dietetics describes the five-salt blend as Deepaniya, Pachana, and Ruchikara — a complete digestive-support salt combination that forms the backbone of many traditional Ayurvedic culinary preparations. The inclusion of Krishna Jeerak at 5% adds a classical Deepana herb that textbooks describe as particularly effective in cold-dosha digestive sluggishness.

Peer-reviewed research supports several of these traditional uses: cumin (Cuminum cyminum) has been studied for carminative properties in PubMed-indexed journals. Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) has been examined in ethnopharmacological research for its traditional digestive applications. These studies support — but do not replace — the classical Ayurvedic knowledge embedded in this formulation. Results observed in study conditions. Individual results may vary. Consult your Ayurvedic physician before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the exact ingredients and percentages in Rasashram Chhachh Masala?

Label-verified composition per the physical product: Jeerak (Cuminum cyminum / Cumin) 30%, Panchlavan (five classical Ayurvedic salts) 55%, Dhanyak (Coriandrum sativum / Coriander) 10%, Krishna Jeerak (Carum bulbocastanum / Black Cumin) 5%. These percentages are taken directly from the product label — not estimated.

Why is Panchlavan 55% of the formula?

Panchlavan — the five-salt classical Ayurvedic blend — forms the backbone of this formulation because it serves three classical functions simultaneously: Deepaniya (stimulates digestive fire), Pachana (aids digestion), and Ruchikara (enhances taste and palatability). A single salt cannot deliver this triple action. The 55% composition reflects the traditional Ayurvedic ratio for digestive salt blends designed for daily food use.

Is this a pharmaceutical-grade product or a home-made masala?

This is a pharmaceutical-grade proprietary food product manufactured by Rasashram Pharma Laboratories, Gondal — a licensed Ayurvedic pharmaceutical manufacturer established in 1961, with heritage roots going back to 1901. The same facility manufactures classical Bhasma, Pishti, and Rasayana preparations. Every batch of Chhachh Masala is produced under the same quality controls as those pharmaceutical preparations.

What are all the alternate names for this product?

Also known as Chhash Masala, Chaas Masala, Chach Masala, Buttermilk Masala, Chhas Masalo (Gujarati), Tak Masala (Marathi), Mor Masala (Tamil), Majjiga Masala (Telugu), Majjige Masala (Kannada), Moru Masala (Malayalam). Common search spellings: Chhachha Masala, Chhaas Masala, Buttermilk Spice Blend, Chhachh Masale.

Can I use this for things other than buttermilk?

Yes — raita, fruit salad, vegetable salad, dahi bada, shikanji, lemon drink, boiled pulses, dal, pulav, and biryani tempering. The four-ingredient formula is clean and versatile. The label itself states: छाछ, फुट तथा अन्य खाद्य पदार्थों पर छिडकने से चीजे स्वादिष्ट तथा सुपाच्य बनती है — meaning it makes foods sprinkled with it more flavourful and digestible.

When is the best time to drink masala chhachh?

Classical Ayurvedic dietary practice recommends spiced buttermilk (Takra) after the main meal — particularly after lunch. This supports Agni (digestive fire) and helps prevent post-meal heaviness. Summer afternoons are ideal. Classical guidelines advise against drinking buttermilk at night.

Is this available at Riddhish Herbals with a genuine bill?

Is the 1kg pack good value?

Ideal for families of 3 or more, regular chaas drinkers, and those who use this masala in salads and raita daily. Same label-verified composition across all three pack sizes.
